| ~ Round 24 in Bloons TD 5 |
The Camo Bloon is a bloon that made its debut in Bloons TD 4. Its RBE is 11 (the game says it's 9, but it actually takes 11 hits to pop). They have about the same speed as the Blue Bloon. In BTD4, they contain 2 Pink Bloons. However, in BTD5, they could be anything from a red bloon to a ceramic. MOAB-class bloons cannot be camos. Nor can their children.
Camo detection
Camo Bloons can only be detected by some monkeys, usually requiring some upgrades or a nearby tower that gives them that ability.
Camo detection in Bloons TD 4
If another tower targets a Bloon and a Camo Bloon gets in the way, the Camo Bloon will be popped. If a tower with piercing projectiles targets a Bloon in front of a Camo Bloon, both will be popped. Usually, all you need is one set of Road Spikes or a Pineapple to set off a chain reaction.
The following towers and upgrades allow the tower and/or nearby towers to detect Camo Bloons:
| tower | upgrade | note |
|---|---|---|
| Mortar Tower | No upgrade needed | |
| Monkey Beacon | Sonar Beacon (upgrade #3) | Allows detection to all nearby towers |
| Monkey Ace | Spy Plane (upgrade #2) | It detects Camo Bloons without upgrades, but when upgraded it allows others towers to detect Camo Bloons |
| Monkey Buccaneer | Crow's Nest (upgrade #2) | Allows detection to all towers within its range (including itself) |

Camo detection in Bloons TD 5
Camo bloons can be any bloons from Red Bloons to Ceramic Bloons. Regenerating Bloons (heart shaped) can also be camo, making them very deadly. However, the Signal Flare upgrade of the Mortar Tower makes the next layer lose camo status. This can help make things easier. If a monkey cannot see camo bloons, its darts, tacks, etc. will go straight through them without doing any damage to them.
The following towers and upgrades allow the tower and/or nearby towers to detect and also target Camo Bloons:
| tower | upgrade | note |
